Whatever Happened To The Cast Of What I Like About You?

After finding stardom at an early age with "The Amanda Show" and "What I Like About You," Amanda Bynes went on to later star in chick flicks we all know and love. She is known for her roles in "Hairspray," "She's the Man," and "What a Girl Wants." Her last acting project was "Easy A," which premiered in 2010, per IMDb, and she has since quit acting. She has reportedly struggled with drug addiction and was diagnosed as bipolar and manic depressive, E! News reported in 2014. During an interview with Paper in 2018, Bynes opened up about her struggle with substance abuse, claiming she was sober for four years. However, in March 2019, People reported that she checked into a mental health facility for treatment after a relapse.

Elsewhere in her life, Bynes graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in June 2019 (via USA Today), and in February 2020, she announced that she was engaged to "love of [her] life" Paul Michael, whom she met in an Alcohol Anonymous meeting (via The Blast). 

Notably, Bynes was ordered to check into a psychiatric facility in March 2020 after a meeting about her conservatorship case, per The Blast. Bynes' mother has been the "All That" star's conservator since 2013, so there is no confirmation when we will hear wedding bells officially ring for Bynes and Michael. According to TMZ, the next hearing to discuss the status of her conservatorship is on March 8, 2023.
